New Hextech Crafting Assets & Chests

Several new Snowdown themed hextech crafting assets were added in today's update. No details yet.

Miscellaneous

The newLegend of the Poro King Poro Snax have updated and new item icons -

Here's a preview for the Santa Penguin Ward skin, which debuted in the 11/21 PBE update.

Balance Changes

* Remember *: The PBE is a testing grounds for new, tentative, and sometimes radical or experimental changes. Be aware that what you see below may be lacking context or other changes that didn't make it in or were implemented in an earlier patch this cycle! These are not official notes.

LCU Updates & Changes

A new "potato mode" option was added to the PBE LCU. While no tooltip or explanation, I'd hazard a guess this is related to a "low spec" mode or otherwise some sort of upcoming performance enhancing option for lower end PCs.

EDIT: Looks like "potato mode" went to PBE a bit early and is not hooked up yet. Context from Riot Credo:

"hey, so this is a feature we're currently working on (it accidentally slipped to PBE, sorry!). We've gotten the framework for setting potato mode, but we havent actually connected it to anything yet. The reason for this is that there are multiple efforts to try and improve performance and some of our other efforts have made the client as a whole faster especially on machines powered by potatoes. So, once we figure out how far we can go with that, we'll see how much we need to be able to switch on and off with the potato mode button. Makes sense?"

While we saw them debut last cycle then be removed near end of cycle, the options menu once again includes the ability to set in-game hotkeys through the LCU client.

Notes

While not in today's update, here's a few notes for future PBE update or changes:

Repertoir tweeted there should be Rengar passive changes on the PBE soon.

"Should be on PBE soon (today or tomorrow), ship in 6.24. Will still be an AP/Health item.

The direction is going to be shrinking it down a bit - less cost, less stats, exact numbers still in flux a bit - and flattening the passive out to 20% in all cases, which makes it preferentially better on champions who can apply that slow repeatedly (or when it matters) rather than having the passive attempt to make it comparably valuable over many different types of AP champions."

Riot Jag noted on the PBE Camille stream that he'll be removing her Q2's ability to crit true damage.
